Title: Next batch of BT Sport games - Alty feature....
Post by: MadFrankie on February 13, 2015, 08:42:02 PM: ....in none of them, as usual.

What an inspiring selection for late March/early April:

Braintree v Telford
Macc v Bristol Rovers
FGR v Aldershot
Dartford v Barnet

We'll be lucky to get featured at all if this is anything to go by.

They said no, and argued that the finances of clubs televised take a hit in many cases, because of a drop in attendances. Their exemplar for this was Luton. I'd argue that the potential benefits of additional exposure for clubs like us are bigger than the drop in ticket sales for a televised game. They refused to enter into any sort of discussion about whether the idea of each team being guaranteed a game was even desirable as an aim.
